Dangerous drivers have been causing a nuisance by racing through a retail park at night.

Wakefield District Police have warned the motorists they will be caught out, as officers investigate reports of anti-social driving in Wakefield city centre.

Patrols have been increased at the Cathedral Retail Park after complaints in recent weeks.

Inspector Helen Brear, of the Wakefield Central NPT, said: "The Cathedral Retail Park area has historically been used for racing activity, and this is something nearby residents should quite rightly not have to tolerate.

"We have had recent reports of this behaviour from residents and are looking into what can be done from a policing perspective to address the issue in the longer term with our partners in the force.

"In recent weeks, district officers, including our motorcycle team, have increased patrols and we have been taking positive action."
